It wouldn't be to replace Cesil, that thing isn't going anywhere!.
There'd be a couple of potential problems though, first one being certain I could afford it and secondly, finding somewhere to keep it. Cesil has the garage as insisted by the Ins Co, we have no drive so the only other place would be on a very narrow street...not good.
Funniest thing though was the sales guy seemed more interested in Cesil than he was in explaining a Vantage to me. He'd never seen one before yet talked as though he knew all about them ( despite asking if the cf roof was aftermarket and if the seats were standard ).
I asked him if the Vantage would be a similar sort of driving experience to Cesil i.e sharp handling, no sloppiness, taut feel etc etc and got the reply "oh it will be much better, this is a genuine sportscar and built as such whereas that's just a saloon and will never drive well".
Surprisingly resisted the urge to say "jump into the passenger seat sunbeam"

I see you have had the pleasure of another knowledgable salesman.
Hope you took the AM out for a test drive. If not get yourself back down there.
